[Gasification] tests to design a new cheap gasifier fan

[Les Freeman]

I have 480 volt 3 phase in my mills and I use Hitachi  VFD's to increase the 
speed of the fans. I have driven some of them as 300 hz , at which they saturate 
and stop rotation . At 120hz I am getting 7200 rpms out the fans. Hatichi builds 
fractional hp VFD's that can be run on 220 volt single phase and the VFD 
converts single phase to 3 phase. That feature is quite handy and they are easy 
to set up.
